Cape Fear Valley Health honored several members of its medical staff. For the second quarter of 2021, the winners are Physician of the Quarter Sree Jadapalle, M.D.; Resident of the Quarter Michael Kingberg, DO, MPH; and Advanced Practice Provider (APP) of the Quarter Machelle Burgess, NP. The awards were presented July 7, at a Cape Fear Valley Medical Staff meeting.
Jadapalle had his name put forward for her impact on the residency and psychiatry programs. She is in the process of creating the health system’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Program Fellowship and will be the Program Director and lead the Adolescent Psychiatry Unit when it opens. She is described as a leading example of professionalism.
Kingberg is a third-year Emergency Medicine resident, who was nominated for his “inexhaustible passion for emergency medicine,” as well as his care to his patients, and his consistent efforts to help others in the department.
Burgess was nominated for her diligent and organized work. The nurse practitioner was described as a prized member of the surgery department, whether rounding on patients, creating work schedules, managing medical students, or scrubbing into the operating room.
